Comments on: Mark Burnett’s The Bible mini-series comes to home video https://cliqueclack.com/p/tv-on-dvd-april-2/ Big voices. Little censors. Fri, 10 Apr 2015 14:43:24 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.1.1 By: Chuck Duncan https://cliqueclack.com/p/tv-on-dvd-april-2/#comment-33630 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 18:52:22 +0000 https://cliqueclack.com/p/?p=8700#comment-33630 There have been a total of four Walking Dead posts this season. There is nothing we cover on a weekly basis anymore (there’s only so much you can say about a show week to week when you’re just not regurgitating a recap of an episode). We do overviews of a coming season, wrap-ups of a season, and commentary on particular episodes that one of our writers may have watched. We have a small writing team, no one is assigned to cover any particular show, so it’s up to the writers to decide what they want to write about. I am interested to see the show myself — the controversies I mentioned were issues I had read in other critiques of the show, by the way — as well as The Vikings which aired at the same time on a different network. There was no selective bias to not review The Bible, just a lack of time and manpower to devote to it and the myriad other shows on television. But like I said, with the release of the video, perhaps someone will take the plunge and offer a thoughtful look at the series.

Another top rated show. The Bible was on for five weeks and no review? To be fair the fact that this site and others refused to review the miniseries made me just go watch it. But seeing that you thought it was controversial and a hit after the first showing and you refused to review its… its just disappointing. It reeks of it wasn’t worthy of this site. It was beneath you And not just you. Other sites like tvfanatic did the same. I just expected more.

The site is a bit different now in that we don’t (and can’t) cover every show on TV, and no one knew this was going to be the hit it was before it aired. We do more essay-type articles now, so perhaps with the home video release someone will go in and give the show a more thoughtful and in-depth critique that a quick rush to review an episode would not afford.

It had one silly dustup about the devil looking like Obama (when he really just looked like an old man). Seeing that this was one of the top rated series on cable and one of the most talked about I have been surprised that I have not seen a review on this site.

Disappointing.
